One thousand tons of blueberries a year, 400 hectares of plantations, 2000 seasonal workers from nearby villages (within a radius of 50 km). All this is a farm in the Zhytomyr region, \u201dhe wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the people&#8217;s deputy, earlier there was an old collapsed collective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=16928\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16928\">farm<\/a>. About 900 villagers had no income, no infrastructure, no roads. Now there is everything thanks to agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About half of all Ukrainian blueberry crops are grown on this farm. An irrigation system has been created for each field, buses have been purchased to transport workers. The production has the highest level of certification and exports blueberries to dozens of EU countries and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Farmers Are Developing Berry Growing in Zhytomyr\" class=\"wp-image-17055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2-45x35.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Farmers-Are-Developing-Berry-Growing-in-Zhytomyr2.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Farmers Are Developing Berry Growing in Zhytomyr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way to the village, 8 km of asphalt road was laid as part of the Big Construction (work is still ongoing). There has never been asphalt here in my life: people suffocated in dirt and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=16129\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16129\">dust<\/a>. Big construction is not only roads, it is the construction of a new flourishing village, where happiness and joy reign in the homes where Ukrainians return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a great example of how agriculture and farming can change Ukraine. I am happy every time I see such enterprises in the villages and understand that the future is behind the agricultural sector! \u201dDmytro Solomchuk is sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Read Also: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=16860\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16860\">The Blueberry Picking Season Has Started in Volyn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Source<\/span>: <span style=\"color:#faed00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ukrgate<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thousand tons of blueberries a year, 400 hectares of plantations, 2000 seasonal workers from nearby villages (within a radius of 50 km).
